WinForms Q2’12 SP2 Brings New Enhancements with Better VS 2012 UX in Mind
Just one month after the official release of Visual Studio 2012, I am proud to announce the immediate availability of RadControls for WinForms Q2 2012 SP2 release that is built with better Visual Studio 2012 user experience in mind. Back then on Aug 15, Q2 2012 SP1 of RadControls for WinForms provided support for Visual Studio 2012 from day one, but this new version brings further improvements to achieve full compliance (adhering to both functional and to the UX guidelines) with Visual Studio 2012. Today is a great day for Visual Studio 2012 as well as the official launch day of Microsoft... -

Why do I need a Technical co-Founder?
As Paul and I are starting to review the first batch of applications to AcceleratorHK, we have stressed that you can’t apply for the accelerator program with only one founder. The optimum team make-up is two people: one “business” co-founder and one “technical” co-founder. The most frequent question that I get from potential applicants is: “Why do I need a technical co-founder?” The question alone tells you something since it is not: “Why do I need a business guy co-founder?” This tells me that there are TONS of excited non-technical people willing to take the plunge and start a business, but not enough techies. This is a problem. I answer... -

How to Build a Picture Gallery app for Windows Phone – Source Code Available
Software development, like many other things, is learned by studying theory and applying that theory to practice. While practicing however, it is also a good idea to learn existing software to reinforce the theory and also learn a trick or two that are not mentioned in the books. With this in mind we decided to create a complete sample app for Windows Phone that will be free to download and study in order to help you with your Windows Phone development. It is a Picture Gallery app that demonstrates how to create a native Windows Phone client for Flickr or another... -

Searching in Windows 8
Windows 8 Store Applications can take advantage of the shared “Charms” that you see when you swipe in from the right edge of your Windows 8 device (or press Win-C). The top charm is searching and it provides tremendous functionality at relatively little programming effort. When you click search Windows 8 assumes you want to search the current application if that application has registered a Search “contract.” If it has not, Windows 8 will assume you want to search the applications, as shown in the figure (click on the figure for full size). In any case, every program that implements a search contract... -

Productivity Testing
The "Remove Script File" Button
This one is kind of advanced. You can add a coded step to your test (or convert an existing step to code). When you do that - a so-called "code-behind file" is generated. The file in question is simply a C#/VB class file that has the exact same name as your test: You can open and edit the entire class file from Standalone by using the View Class button: And you'll be able to do anything you would expect from a class file - define custom functions, add assembly references, define global variables etc. In fact, all your coded ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Here we grow again. Telerik acquires Fiddler. What’s next?
We have some very exciting news to share with the Telerik community. Telerik has just acquired Fiddler! Even more exciting is that Fiddler’s brilliant creator Eric Lawrence will come over from Microsoft to join the team fulltime.

Building Your First Win8 Enterprise App
You are a business analyst charged with understanding the retail market. You’ve decided to create an application that will display the relative revenues for the key stores in your district. Obtaining the data is easy, but you’d like a graphic representation of the revenue volume for each of the key stores. Start by storyboarding your application.
